    Male Life Expectancy: How Men Can Live Longer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 52min
    It is the desire of all humans to live long on earth and fulfill their purpose for existence. Many have desired to live up to 80, 90, 100, and some even wish to live longer. While this desire to live long is a legitimate one, it often happens that people die when they least wished or expected. Historically, women live longer than men and this trend may continue for centuries and perhaps longer. Even with the sizable risk conferred by childbirth, women lived longer than men in 1900, and it appears that women have out-survived men at least since the 1500s, when the first reliable mortality data were kept. Sweden was the first country to collect data on death rates nationally; in that country's earliest records, between 1751 and 1790, the average life expectancy at birth was 36.6 years for women and 33.7 years for men. Death rates in less developed countries, whose citizens have limited access to cars, guns, and maternal care, also provide a measure of mortality before modernity. At present, the only countries in which male life expectancy exceeds that for females are those with long-standing sexual discrimination - including Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan - where social pressures and practices such as female infanticide and bride-burning result in unique losses of females. The fact that women live longer than men does not necessarily mean that they enjoy better health than men. It could be that women live with their diseases, while men die from them. Indeed, there is a difference between the sexes in disease patterns, with women having more chronic non-fatal conditions - such as arthritis, osteoporosis and autoimmune disorders - and men having more fatal conditions, such as heart disease and cancer. ungekürzt.

    History's Worst Dictators: A Short Guide to the Most Brutal Rulers, From Emperor Nero to Ivan the Terrible , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 121min
    History's Worst Dictators is the exciting new book from best-selling author Michael Rank. It is currently #1 on Amazon.com in the categories of Medieval History and Weapons and Warfare (as of March 9, 2013) and slated for translation into German. Here are reader reactions to “History's Worst Dictators”: “Concise and compulsively readable” “History as it ought to be told” “I would read more history if it came packaged like this” Here is the book description: Nasty, brutish, and short. This is the way English philosopher Thomas Hobbes described the living conditions into which humans inevitably fall without a strong, central authority. However, Hobbes would agree that living under a brutal dictator could lead to the same conditions. He would know -- he lived a century after the bloody reign of Henry VIII, 150 years after Spanish conquistadors witnessed Montezuma II offering up thousands of human sacrifices, and four centuries after Genghis Khan rode throughout Eurasia and left behind enough death and destruction to depopulate major parts of the globe. This exciting new book from historian Michael Rank looks at the lives and times of the worst dictators in history. You will learn about their reigns and violent actions, such as... -Emperor Nero's murder of family members, suspected arson of Rome, and widespread execution of religious minorities, which caused many early Christians to believe that he was the Antichrist. -Herod the Great's use of crowd slaughter, family killings, and even infanticide to hold on to his rule. -Genghis Khan's military conquests that killed tens of millions and caused millions more to flee their homes in fear, resulting in forests reclaiming abandoned farmland and carbon levels plummeting, actually creating man-made global cooling. -Vlad the Impaler (also known as Vlad Dracul, the namesake of the vampire) and his use of impalement to kill ungekürzt.

    Understanding Life Expectancy: Why Men Die Earlier Than Women , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 45min
    It is the desire of all humans, with very few exceptions, to live on earth for a long time and fulfil their purpose for existence. Many desire to live up to 80, 90, or 100 years, and some wish to live even longer. While this desire to live a long time is a legitimate one, people often die when they least wish to or expect to.

    The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2199min
    “If I could give each of you a graduation present, it would be this - the most inspiring book I've ever read."- Bill Gates (May, 2017)Selected by The New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of the YearThe author of Enlightenment Now and The New York Times bestseller The Stuff of Thought offers a controversial history of violence.Faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think we live in the most violent age ever seen. Yet as New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true: violence has been diminishing for millennia and we may be living in the most peaceful time in our species's existence. For most of history, war, slavery, infanticide, child abuse, assassinations, programs, gruesome punishments, deadly quarrels, and genocide were ordinary features of life. But today, Pinker shows (with the help of more than a hundred graphs and maps) all these forms of violence have dwindled and are widely condemned. How has this happened?This groundbreaking book continues Pinker's exploration of the essence of human nature, mixing psychology and history to provide a remarkable picture of an increasingly nonviolent world. The key, he explains, is to understand our intrinsic motives - the inner demons that incline us toward violence and the better angels that steer us away - and how changing circumstances have allowed our better angels to prevail. Exploding fatalist myths about humankind's inherent violence and the curse of modernity, this ambitious and provocative book is sure to be hotly debated in living rooms and the Pentagon alike, and will challenge and change the way we think about our society.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audib ungekürzt.

    Love Of Shopping Is Not A Gene
    At the beginning of the 21st century, genes are used to explain almost every aspect of human life, from social inequalities to health, sexuality and criminality. Although few people have studied genetics, our culture is full of casual references to them. The Darwinian, if asked to comment on our evident 'love of shopping, ' would declare it to be in our genes. As former hunters and gatherers, they would say, there is no qualitative difference between gathering fruits and shopping for food, clothes, housewares or knickknacks. One can read not only about the "shopping gene," but also about the "reading gene," the "humility gene" and the "coaching gene." Pop science, fostered by Darwinian psychology, run amok.This book is a critique of Darwinian psychology-alias evolutionary psychology, alias sociobiology-the study of the social behavior of animals and people based on evolution. In this provocative work, Anne Innis Dagg, an eminent and outspoken critic of this ideology, first presents an overview of the theory and its popularity both among professionals and lay people, then she examines concepts of social behavior-based on "genes vs. culture"--including: aggression in the form of rape, infanticide, homicide, gang violence and war, and general criminality; homosexuality in both the human and the animal world; and race, IQ and environment.Focusing on the problems present in much Darwinian psychological research-flawed data, faulty analysis, and political motives-this controversial book offers the first comprehensible critique of the most popular scientific theory of the late 20th century.Anne Innis Dagg has an M.A. in Genetics and a Ph.D. in animal behavior. She is the author ofnumerous books, including "The Camel: Its Ecology, Behavior and Relationship with Man," and "The Feminine Gaze: A Compendium of Nonfiction Women Authors and Their Books." She is currently academic director of independent studies at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.

    Narcissist and the Cognitive Dissonance Theory: The Web of Eternal Entanglement: Transcend Mediocrity, Book 87 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min
    Many of my listeners seek to continue learning about the narcissist and the tools that he uses in order to maintain his toxic relationships with those around him. We are baffled by his triangulation, lying, cheating, manipulation, and the trauma bond he uses to keep his followers around. He elicits negative and abusive behavior, and he seemingly gets away with it. What we haven't discussed in a lot of depth is the theory of cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the reason many of those who worked with Hitler did not question the evil things they were doing when they helped kill other human beings. It is the reason that friends, partners, and family members continue to support and follow narcissists, despite their ill feelings to the contrary. We think adults should know the difference between right and wrong. We think everyone who is being hurt or manipulated would stand up for themselves and choose to walk away if they were put in a situation that was harmful to them. We wonder why groups of people are prone to infanticide and genocide, hardly putting up any fight as they are led to their deaths. We would all like to think that we would be the ones to speak out and to fight for our right to live. But would we? This audiobook will seek to define cognitive dissonance as it relates to narcissists, toxic people, psychopaths, and other mentally ill or personality-disordered individuals. It will also define the cognitive dissonance that causes victims to stay with their narcissistic spouse or partner. The purpose of toxic and narcissistic people is seemingly to harm and take advantage of others. We look at them as being the "evil" side of humanity, but we often don't realize why they chose the "dark" side. This audiobook will shed light on the underlying reasons for this choice. It explains the underlying psyche and mind theories as they relate to how a narcissist is created. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ron Welch.
